Bel Air White House Fence Jumper Sentenced

The Bel Air man who jumped the White House fence last fall has reportedly been sentenced to time served.

Dominic Adesanya, 23, was sentenced to time served and one year of supervised probation on July 2, according to NBC News.

Adesanya scaled the White House fence on Oct. 22, 2014, and was tackled by officers and K-9s on the North Lawn.

He was found mentally incompetent to stand trial. His lawyer said that Adesanya has schizophrenia and believes the NSA and President Barack Obama put surveillance devices in lightbulbs and cell phones in his Bel Air home, according to The Washington Post.

On April 17, he pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of entering restricted grounds, according to the U.S. Attorney. After taking the plea deal, he was released, The Hill reported, meaning his sentence, or time served, was about six months.

As part of his release, Adesanya is required to be interviewed by the Secret Service “to assist in determining potential current and future risks,” according to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. He must also stay away from buildings that are under Secret Service protection, the Associated Press reported.

In connection with two other charges—related to security violations last July at the White House and Treasury Building—Adesanya was enrolled in a mental health program, according to The Washington Post, which reported if he complies with certain requirements for the next four months, those charges will be dropped.

Omar Gonzalez—an Army veteran who scaled the fence, entered the White House with a knife and knocked over a Secret Service agent in September 2014—was sentenced to 17 months in jail, according to the United Press International. The lawyer for Gonzalez said the 43-year-old decorated Iraqi war veteran suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and told a Secret Service agent the atmosphere was collapsing when he entered the White House, according to court documents obtained by Reuters.

In response to security breaches at the White House, the Secret Service and National Park Service began installing metal spikes and an “anti-climb feature” on the fence July 1, a process that ABC News says will take six weeks.

The spikes are reportedly a temporary measure until the Commission of Fine Arts and National Capital Planning Commission approve a permanent design that will be put into place next year.
